Dear lord, Consuela. They do understand that's the kind of thing that makes people crack? I wouldn't blame you for running around the office screaming.
meara is not wrong.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Ugh. Sorry Consuela, that's really eff'd up.
Which means I can't apply for it. I'm not a current or former federal employee or a veteran.
Fucking fuck! I'm so sorry Consuela.
before you became a comsultant you were not a federal employee?
I am so sorry.
That is fucking unbelievable, Suela!
I wonder if My Nemesis has any friends in the HR department...
The fact that your job makes you feel this way, like you are being plotted against, makes me so angry. AT this point I would love to see you just walk away from that place to be honest, I hate the way they treat you.
I'm on the juvenile side too. More power to you, Consuela, whether you pitch a fit, or smile down your nose at them.
I can't even imagine.
For those of you on Botox watch, I have at least most of the movement in my face still. Doc said the painkilling effects might take a couple weeks to kick in--not sure about the paralysis. Right now I have a headache that I think is from irritation by the actual injections, which I read is a thing.
Over my sister's weekend, I was talking (a lot) with one of her doctor best friends, with whom I'd never spent time alone before. She's determined to keep talking to me now which is--I'm glad my sister is not just cool with this shit, she would enforce it if she could. I was a substitute her in Montreal--when she went home for summers, the friends of hers that were still around would take me as a poor substitute until she came back. Which was fine.
She is still mad at me for being Colin's friend, though, since he was in her year at McGill, not mine. Whatevs.
Anyway, doctor friend is cool. She was very patient about my prostate ravings (No, not a bundle of nerves. Bundle of nerve adjacent, but it's a gland...) and she seems to think I read papers on procedures before doctors perform them on me, and I had no idea where she thought I was getting papers from. Turns out? emedicine.com. Requires signup, but it's free, and she vouches for it as a neutral and thorough source of information, so I'm trying it out now for upcoming proposed stuff. Thought maybe you people who like Dr. Google might want to check it out.
Okay, Buffistas I'd like to hear votes for the five greatest xkcd comics.
What's your top 5?
Oh, and the other update:
I found a black miniskirt that I think works well with the tie. It's not tight or anything, but I couldn't find my character shoes and initially grabbed the granny boots, but it looked more coquettish than businesslike, so I went back to the Doc Marten Mary Janes, which don't sound businesslike, but...they work.
The guy who is snazzy called me snazzy, and I asked him what knot he used for his tie, and—no surprise there, full Windsor. He never does anything else. A guy within earshot said that he really shouldn't have gone full Windsor with that collar (which means there are more things for me to learn) and a chick within earshot (who was patently not wearing business formal) said "There are different ways to tie ties???!?"
So, you know, stuff.
Why do I have grey hose? This just looks ashy. But it's all I have.

#1 is Someone Is Wrong On The Internet.
I'll get back to you on 2-5.
